Slow Down Sister

I declared the party over on Tuesday but in reality it just keeps on rolling. Tuesday evening I had a mom's night out. I planned to skip all food and only have one glass of champagne. Didn't happen. Yesterday (Wed) I ate so much you would have thought I was in a competition. I went out for lunch with a friend and ate a gigantic crab quesadilla. For dinner my mom came over and grilled steaks and I ate a 1/2 one with a 1/2 baked potato and asparagus. Wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the butter, sour cream, crunchy fat parts of the steak, etc, etc. Not to mention I wasn't even actually hungry yet after my big lunch. Then, after dinner, I had a board meeting at which I planned to have no alcohol and no food. I did skip the alcohol but I ended up eating some "bad" appetizer type food.

Because of all of that, plus the never-ending cake, I am considering taking a pass on my weigh-in tomorrow. I remember Weight Watchers would let you do this now and again and I think it might be in my own best interest this week. I don't want to see a big gain and start moping around and feeling bad about myself. If I think I can handle a gain without getting negative on myself then I'll go ahead and weigh in, but something tells me I should skip it.

The good news is my gym routine is still firmly in place. My days off this week were Sunday and yesterday (Wednesday) so I will need to go each day for the remainder of the week (Thur, Fri, Sat) to reach my 5x a week goal. I am doing Week 6/Day 2 today - two 10 minute runs with a 3 minute walk between runs. I hope that goes well. Then on Saturday I'll have a 25 minute run. That should be interesting. Wish me luck!

lol..after reading this post i keep superimposing your face on Myra's from your last post. Pure joy while eating. It's just a few days of eating not quite right. You're still doing lots more of the right things. I hope you're not forgetting that.
